Man its really, really mind-blowing to hear that we were by far the most well organized, prepared school to approach him to the point where he was surprised if not impressed that everything that he would want to bring up in regards to be competitive in not just the ACC but nationally we already had a well thought out plan in how to accomplish.
He would not have taken this job if he didn't agree with the plan. Holy shit, we're back
Loved his answer, and I'm really glad to hear Pry was helpful. I love Brent Pry and I wish it had worked out.
It is very easy to remain in my pessimistic state with regards to low expectations for the current administration (both university & athletics) to get back up to dominating the conference and being nationally relevant again. But it is really comforting and exciting to hear from Franklin that it kind of blew his mind how well organized and relentless they were in trying to get him onboard. So I'll happily eat my hat in that regard. However, I hope this isn't just the excitement of getting married. There is still a lot to get done, and that process will never end.
Very impressed, overall. GO HOKIES!
David Teel with the direct question asking about how Pry was involved. Very excited to hear the response.
Eh. He's a dead man walking/lame duck. This would be weird and awkward for anyone.
Unable to watch. Can someone please post any details of the contract if announced?
Thanks-
That could be a detail they had to work out logistically with HR, etc.
We all would have a beer or 12 with Pry.
Franklin saying "Go Hokies" was surreal. This is happening.
Find me a wall...I need to run through it....also, I'm not crying, you're crying!
Is anyone else ready to run through a wall with me?!
Stereotypical but true in this circumstance that he won the press conference.
Yes I'm going to have favorites. My favorites are high production and low maintenance players and staff
Franklin is very good at this.
"the Fuller family, the Edmunds family"
Nice
By all accounts Brent Pry is a GREAT guy, loves VT. It just didn't work out.
Oh yeah. Brent will be here in some capacity.
He might, but would any other school feel that way? My point is that I want the BEST we can get and I don't think he is that
I actually love the emotion here. And him shouting out Pry
my bad I missed that
Tech also approved two new buildings at that meeting. So they are spending some money.
He did acknowledge Monty
That closing sentence
This dude is going to be head of fundraising. He clearly has a way with words and people. Also really good to hear what he said about Pry in the process, Foster, etc. I'm excited about Hokies football (at least for Spring/G1 next year) again and it feels so nice.
